Will the Draft Stormy move mean stormy weather for Republican Sen. David Vitter?



NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) – Fans of porn star Stormy Daniels are drafting her to run for the U.S. Senate seat in Louisiana now held by Republican David Vitter. And it's no racy gimmick, they say.

"2010 presents the Pelican State with the opportunity to start with a clean slate — to elect a representative that we can be proud of, who will work tirelessly, and who will challenge the status quo," according to the Draft Stormy Web site. "We at the Draft Stormy campaign feel that Baton Rouge native Stormy Daniels is best suited to fulfill these duties."

Vitter is famous — or infamous — for his link to the D.C. Madam, the woman who ran a prostitution ring. Elected to the Senate in 2004, he admitted to "a very serious sin in my past" in July 2007 after his phone number turned up in records of an escort service run by the late "D.C. Madam," Deborah Jeane Palfrey.

Running for re-election, Vitter says his wife has forgiven him and is banking on the same sentiment from his constituents. Will the Draft Stormy move mean stormy weather for Vitter?

The senator's office didn't return numerous calls by CNN. But the spokesman for the state GOP said voters "are concerned with real issues that affect their everyday lives, and not with political or publicity stunts."

The Draft Stormy campaign was started by New Orleans resident and Stormy fan Zack Hudson, who insists it's for real. Daniels, 29, isn't affiliated with a party but is embracing the idea of a possible candidacy.

She says she's planning a listening tour around Louisiana to talk about a range of matters, including the economy — which along with women in business and protection of children are the three issues listed on her Web site. When told Vitter can be a tough opponent, she said she's "always up for a good fight."

"I think anyone that knows me … is more than aware of that," Daniels said. "Politics can't be any dirtier of a job than the one I am already in."

1. Wow I hope Louisiana has better candidates than this to beat that piece of garbage

[11 Bravo]

2. I hope she mounts a primary challenge as a Repug.

Otherwise, she's simply ensuring the re-election of the Vitter Shitter Critter.
